Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 48: The Moonlight Is Beautiful Tonight

Chapter 48: The Moonlight is Beautiful Tonight

The extraordinary and talented young man has left,

In the Hall of Diligent Governance, everything has returned to calm.

The anger and joy on Lan Su's face... all disappeared.

He sat quietly at the desk, watching Bai Yu's departure.

Narrowing his eyes slightly.

The birth of a demonic star!

What kind of storm will this person bring to the court?

"Investigate!"

"I want all the background information on Bai Yu."

"And also, everything he has done since entering the capital, anyone he has encountered... investigate them all!"

"And Yao Yun, investigate her too!"

The old emperor's face was solemn, his voice cold.

But there was no longer a trace of the familiar anger, joy, or gentleness in front of Bai Yu.

"Yes!" x n

Several responses sounded.

Figures flashed by and disappeared.

The old emperor lowered his gaze slightly, stood up, and walked to the balcony to observe the stars.

The crescent moon in the sky was enchanting, and the stars were shining brightly.

Lan Su stood with his hands folded, quietly watching, and sighed softly, "Bai Yu... what can you bring to this empire? Let me see..."

...

"Hoo~"

"So scared, so scared, so scared~"

"Almost died!"

"The pressure of confronting the emperor is so great!"

Walking on the dim streets outside the royal city,

Bai Yu's face suddenly changed, looking somewhat exaggerated and muttering to himself.

"Sister Long, quickly transform and let me rely on you~"

Long Zhi: ...

Can this frivolous and debauched scholar really be connected to the arrogant and unrestrained person in front of the emperor just now?

However,

Although there were complaints in his heart.

The little snake in his arms still transformed its shape.

A beautiful woman dressed in black and white appeared next to Bai Yu out of thin air.

Fortunately, it was curfew at night and there were no pedestrians,

Otherwise, this sudden appearance of a living person would really scare him.

Long Zhi gently hooked her arm around the young master's arm and whispered, "Young master, are you feeling better?"

"Heh!"

"Sister Long is by my side, so I don't feel tired at all!"

"Sister Long, you smell so good!"

As if being healed, Bai Yu took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"Young master~"

"Don't tease me!"

The cold and elegant Long Xian blushed and playfully scolded Bai Yu.

The cold fairy seemed to have descended from the sky, with a hint of fireworks.

The shy beauty was truly more enchanting than the most beautiful flowers.

"Sister Long, what do you think of Emperor Qianyuan?"

At night, the two walked side by side.

With confidence in Long Zhi's abilities, Bai Yu was not afraid of being spied on by others, and openly asked her.

"Emm..."

"With the protection of the earth's veins, a long-lasting fortune, no evil spirits can invade."

"The holy power is magnificent, with the eyes of a dragon and a tiger, able to see through people's hearts, and imposing without anger. Truly extraordinary!"

After pondering for a moment, Long Zhi said to Bai Yu.

"Yes, indeed."

Bai Yu nodded slightly.

Lansu could not be considered a great emperor who would be remembered for eternity, like a ruler who created the world.

But he was a diligent ruler who maintained what he had achieved.

A qualified emperor must be outstanding, and having such power is nothing out of the ordinary.

"But..."

Long Zhi changed the subject and continued, "His thoughts are exhausted, his vitality is depleted, and his lifespan is not much longer."

"I see..."

It was within expectations.

At 45 years old, he had already exceeded the average age of an emperor.

Looking at his appearance, Lansu didn't seem to have a strong constitution.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and asked, "How many more years does he have?"

Long Zhi replied, "At least 3 years, at most 5 years."

"Three to five years... hmm, time is a bit tight!"

Bai Yu rubbed his chin and pondered silently.

And just at this moment, he arrived!

Although Bai Yu had a good impression of Lan Su,

he had no interest in helping the old man prolong his life.

With those abilities, it would be better to extend his own life to a hundred years.

He was just contemplating.

The transition of dynasties was an awkward period,

and he had to find the right leader to align with.

Unfortunately, Lan Su hadn't yet established a crown prince!

Time was running out, and he didn't know if he had enough time to make arrangements.

Bai Yu asked again, "How strong is the defense force in the palace we just saw?"

Long Zhi replied, "There are twenty-four people with vigorous energy hiding in the shadows."

"There are no evil spirits or Divine Ability practitioners."

Bai Yu nodded lightly, "I see."

It seemed that even if he was as strong as an emperor, he might not have supernatural beings to protect him.

However... with the support of the country's spiritual veins, perhaps he didn't need mysterious powers.

Long Zhi didn't know what Bai Yu was thinking,

but she tightened her grip on his hand and spoke with determination, "Please rest assured, Young Master! Long Zhi is by your side, and I will ensure your safety!"

"Hahaha~!"

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Great."

He shifted his thoughts away from the chaotic matters,

and simply held Long Zhi's hand, looking at the night sky under the dome.

The crescent moon hung high, and the stars twinkled.

This was a sight that couldn't be seen in the sky obscured by smog in his past life.

He changed the topic and sighed lightly, "Long Sister, look, the moon is so beautiful..."

"Huh?"

"Well... it's beautiful."

As a reclusive dragon fairy who had spent a thousand years in a river,

Long Zhi didn't have much romanticism in her, and she couldn't appreciate so-called beautiful scenery.

But if Bai Yu said it was beautiful, then it must be beautiful.

"Haha~ Long Sister, there is a legend in my hometown."

"It is said that the most beautiful fairy lives on the moon. She raises a rabbit, and there are endless laurel trees planted around the fairy palace..."

"Oh? Is that so?"

If Bai Yu wants to see, she can actually ride the clouds and take him to the moon to have a look.

"Hey, but I think legends are misleading! The most beautiful beauty in the world is right in front of me, isn't it? Why do I need to go to the moon to find it? No matter how beautiful the fairy is, she is not as good as my Long Sister!"

The handsome young man held her hand and looked into her eyes.

His dark pupils were mysterious and deep, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and a carefree smile.

Long Zhi:...

Suddenly, inexplicably,

Her heartbeat seemed to be getting faster.

What is this feeling?

Long Zhi had never experienced such a feeling before.

Suddenly, a flush of heat climbed up her neck and spread to her cheeks.

"Long Sister, do you know~"

"In my hometown, 'the moon is so beautiful tonight' has another meaning."

"Oh?"

"The moon is beautiful tonight, and my heart is pleased with you~"
